Native Farm Hedging Mix – Bare Root 40–60cm, Pack of 500

Create a living countryside boundary with this native farm hedging mix, supplied as 500 bare-root plants at approximately 40–60cm. Combining hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) and blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) with other native hedgerow species, it is a practical choice for field margins, hedgerow restoration and larger gardens. This bulk pack suits trade and landscape projects where a varied, wildlife-friendly hedge is preferred to a single-species boundary.

Why Choose a Mixed Native Hedge?

• Traditional countryside character: hawthorn and blackthorn provide the foundation for a mixed native boundary.
• Wildlife interest: seasonal flowers and fruits provide feeding opportunities, while established growth offers shelter.
• Changing colour and texture: a mixture of species brings variety through the seasons.
• Bulk planting: a pack of 500 plants supports larger hedging and landscape schemes.

What Is Supplied?

One pack of 500 native farm hedging plants, supplied bare root at approximately 40–60cm. This is the supplied plant height, not the mature hedge height. Plants vary naturally in shape and size.

The mix includes hawthorn and blackthorn with other native species. Confirm the full species list and proportions with treesandplantsuk before ordering where an exact planting specification is required.

Growth Habit

This deciduous mix develops into a branching hedge with fresh spring foliage, seasonal blossom and autumn interest. Its eventual height, width and density depend on the species composition, growing conditions and management. Formative pruning and ongoing maintenance help develop a well-branched boundary.

Soil and Site Suitability

Choose a sunny or partially shaded planting position with soil that retains moisture but drains freely. Prepare the full planting strip rather than individual holes alone, removing competing weeds and addressing compaction. For persistently waterlogged ground or particularly exposed sites, confirm the suitability of the complete species mix before purchase.

Wildlife and Ecological Value

A mixed native hedge can provide connected cover along field edges and garden boundaries. Hawthorn and blackthorn blossom offers forage for pollinating insects, while haws and sloes provide seasonal food for wildlife. As the hedge establishes, its branching structure creates shelter and potential nesting sites for birds.

Planting and Establishment

Plant bare-root hedging during the dormant season when soil conditions allow, avoiding frozen or waterlogged ground. Keep roots moist and sheltered from drying winds until planting.

• Remove grass and weeds from the planting strip.
• Set plants at their original nursery soil level, spreading the roots without bending them into a cramped hole.
• Firm the soil gently around the roots and water thoroughly.
• Use spacing and row arrangements appropriate to your intended hedge density and project specification.
• Maintain moisture during dry spells through the first growing seasons and keep the hedge base free of competing vegetation.
• Provide suitable protection where rabbits, deer or livestock may damage young plants.

Planning a Stewardship Hedgerow?

For stewardship planting, check the pack's confirmed species composition, proportions, plant size and proposed planting density against your specific agreement before ordering. Do not rely on the product name alone to establish eligibility for BN7, BN11 or any other scheme.
